In iPhoto slide show, is there a way to splice several short tunes together to play for the show?

Mike:
If you want to do a little more that string several songs together, i.e. like cutting out the lead in and out, overlapping, etc. you can try Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder. Always be sure to work with copies of your audio tracks.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

TS1424 Purchased an album one or more records does not play all the way through. A 13 minute track only plays for the first 3.05 minutes and then stops and the program locks up. Larry

Hello Experts., I would like to use only Lightroom but current set up by Adobe will force me to get Photoshop along with Lightroom. Is there any way where I can get only Lightroom and pay for the same.

In the present set up by Adobe if one need Lightroom alone, they have to get and pay for Photoshop also Which I am not interested. Is there any way I can get only Lightroom.? Please help.

Just for clarity, the strict answer to your question is "no": you can't get just Lightroom for the same price as the Lr/Photoshop Creative Cloud (CC) bundle.
You can buy a stand-alone licence for Lightroom alone - that's what Don and Elie have helped you to find - but the pricing (and licencing) arrangements are entirely different to those which make up the CC bundle.
Note too, it's likely that Lightroom 6 will be coming before long (although how long is not known): you will almost certainly have to pay for the upgrade to Lr 6 if you're on a stand-alone licence, whereas moving from 5 to 6 (and to 7 and to...) is included in the price of the bundle.

Is there a way to have more than one audio file play in a slideshow?

I know how to add one audio file to play as the pictures go through, but is there a way to get a second audio file to play in the same slideshow??

Make an album in iTunes with the songs you want to play in your slideshow. Then drag the album to the audio well of your iDVD slideshow.

Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails?

That exclamation mark is displayed when iPhoto cannot link to the original file. First make sure you are running a "managed" library by checking iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to make sure the checkbox to copy files into the library during import is checked.
Click to view full size
If it is checked you can try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Is there a way to have last years Google calendar on my pc NOT show up on my ipad?

Is there a way to have last years Google calendar on my pc NOT show up on my ipad? I need to keep a record of it for business purposes, but I need to free up some memory on my ipad.

Sorry, had to sep out. I see the contacts "page" but I can't use the letters on the left margin or a finger touch to change location. Nor does anything happen when I touch the plus sign to allow me to add a new contact. So maybe he actual old contact data is still there I just can't get to it. Rick

I had to google your device - looks like it's a vintage multi-track recorder that records to Zip disks. So I guess there's no digital USB or Firewire multichannel output and no way to transfer your tracks digitally - or is there? If not, your only option is to record the device's audio track by track into GB.

Is there a way to order several different iPhoto projects at one time, on the same order? (to avoid paying shipping on each individual project?)

No, unless they're all prints.

My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?

BigTex415,
my condolences for your family’s loss. If all she seeks to do is to change the display name, and she’s willing to leave the account name unchanged, then she could do the following: log in as the administrative user and open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, unlock it. Select the account that shows your brother-in-law’s name on the left-hand side of the window, and then on the right-hand side, change the text in the “Full name” textbox to her preferred display name. If desired, click on the padlock in the lower-left corner to relock it.

I lost my last import when iPhoto quit. Is there a way to find these pictures?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards

I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08. Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08. Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

Yes. Back up the Library.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

I do not want the learner to be able to click through the project until they hear the audio recorded on each slide, however I also would like them to have click to advance to the next slide. Is there a way to set up these 2 functions together?

I don't like that approach for adult learners, cannot refrain from mentioning that.
Don't use a playbar but create custom navigation. You'll need a next button on each slide that appears after the audio (in timeline). Since slides will not all have the same duration you'll need an individual button per slide, a shape button on master slide or timed for the rest of the project will not be possible.

Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon?

Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon? I have so many apps that they don't all show up on the existing screens. I know it can be done by connecting to a computer and using iTunes, but I'm on the road away from my Mac.

I tried that and instead of showing me the inaccessible screens, it just shortens the number of available screens. Then if I reset the home screen in preferences it removes the folders I created and I'm back to square one.
